Haha awesome clips. Why is Doc Rivers ok with this? Why not run an actual team based offense? Does he actually want Harden to run this ineffective 1 on 5 scheme, or is Harden disobeying his coach? It seems wild to me.

Yeah haha, 100% agree.

What crazy is that Morey has almost performed a coup in Philly. He’s brought in Harrell, Tucker, House Jr…all for Harden. He’s slowly morphing the 76ers into the Rockets to suit Harden, not Embiid and Maxey.

Embiid will probably join the Lakers after his contract is up. What a dumpster fire.

Honestly, if I was the 76ers, I would have traded Simmons for Haliburton, Hield and picks…not Harden. Especially considering they already knew Maxey was going to be a star talent.

But again, Morey is a pure analytics guy, so he thinks two superstars will win titles, no matter what the chemistry issue.

Why would he join a bigger dumpster fire?
'23 Historical Draft: Orlando Magic.

PG: Terry Porter (90-91) / Steve Francis (00-01)
SG: Joe Dumars (92-93) / Jeff Hornacek (91-92) / Jerry Stackhouse (00-01)
SF: Brandon Roy (08-09) / Walter Davis (78-79)
PF: Terry Cummings (84-85) / Paul Millsap (15-16)
C: Chris Webber (00-01) / Ralph Sampson (83-84) / Andrew Bogut (09-10)

Yeah I agree, IMO if he left Philly, it would be for Houston.

Embiid’s hero growing up was Olajuwon, who still has a close connection to the Rockets and has his own training facility in Houston.

Rockets would have a great young core in Jalen Green, Jabari Smith Jr and perhaps even Wembanyama.
